Chapter 322 Origin of Bodhi Patriarch

"Okay!" Ji Ming smiled and walked in.

At the other end of the passage is a dojo. The people inside are dressed as Taoist priests, but many people are practicing Buddhist supernatural powers.The leader was an old Taoist priest with a gray beard. He gave Ji Ming the feeling that he was even more unfathomable than the Jade Emperor.

This made Ji Ming rule out the possibility that Bodhi was the Tathagata Buddha in an instant.

There is no other reason, just because the Tathagata Buddha did not have such a high level of cultivation.

Tathagata is also a quasi-sage, but Ji Ming feels that he is not as powerful as Jade Emperor.

Of course, it is also possible that Tathagata hid deeper. Before fighting, Ji Ming was not sure about the strength of those existences.But Patriarch Bodhi is definitely not Tathagata, this point can be easily judged, after all, even the way of practice is completely different, even if Tathagata can change, it can't become like this.

No one can hide their identity from Ji Ming, not even a saint!
"Fellow Taoist, are you curious about the identity of the poor Taoist?" Patriarch Bodhi laughed.

Ji Ming nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, please clarify."

"The story of Journey to the West is widely circulated, and because of this, Pindao is known by many people and their identities are guessed." Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly and said, "But in fact, Pindao is Pindao, regardless of the name of Buddhism or Taoism. , the poor Taoists are all called 'Bodhi', which is also the name of the poor Taoists when they were not monks."

"Name?" Ji Ming couldn't help being taken aback.

"Yes, before he became a monk, the old Taoist surname was Xu, and his name was Bodhi. He used to be a national teacher." Patriarch Bodhi waved a futon, sat opposite Ji Ming, and said: "The poor Taoist is not a great power, I Born in the period of Emperor Shun, he was of the same generation as Emperor Yu, and once controlled the water together."

Ji Ming was taken aback again, and said in astonishment: "Human race?"

"A serious human race." Bodhi laughed.

"Only over a thousand years old?" Ji Ming asked again.

"If you don't count the reenactments of countless journeys to the west, during the first journey to the west, Pindao really only had more than a thousand years of Taoism." Patriarch Bodhi nodded, and said with some nostalgia: "The time when Pindao really started to practice was in the Xia Dynasty. In the middle period, my clan members died of old age one by one. They were stronger than Emperor Shun and Emperor Yu. They all turned into loess in the passage of time. In pursuit of longevity, I traveled across the ocean and found the legendary Penglai Xiandao."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ming was taken aback again.

Penglai Xiandao is not a small island. There is Biyou Palace, which is the ashram of the Supreme Master Tongtian.

"The sages of the Qing Dynasty taught without discrimination, and quickly accepted Pindao, but because Pindao was too young and was a human race, he failed to become a second-generation disciple, and only worshiped Duobao Taoist, the chief disciple of Jiejiao, as his teacher. Patriarch Bodhi continued: "Pin Dao is the first third-generation disciple of Jiejiao. Although his seniority is low, his cultivation level is not lower than that of the second-generation disciples. In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, he even surpassed Master Duobao Taoist."

"This……"

For a moment, Ji Ming didn't know what to say.

"Pindao is the first quasi-sage under the Sanqing sect, and the second person who has reached the realm of 'quasi-sage' besides the Jade Emperor in this world." Patriarch Bodhi suddenly smiled and said to Ji Ming: " You must be wondering why Pindao didn't show up during the Battle of the Conferred Gods?"

Regarding this, Ji Ming nodded and said, "It's a bit strange."

Daoist Duobao was definitely a master among saints in the Battle of the Conferred Gods. If Bodhi had surpassed him at that time, it would be impossible for him to do nothing in the Battle of the Conferred Gods.

"Well, in fact, before the start of the Battle of the Conferred Gods, the poor Taoist was tricked and trapped by the Supreme Saint." Patriarch Bodhi sighed: "This is tacitly approved by the Taoist ancestor, because the saint does not come out, and the poor Taoist is trapped." No one can check and balance Dao's mana, and if there is poor Dao, the battle of Conferring Gods will be meaningless!"

These words were spoken with great force, undoubtedly revealing the arrogance of Patriarch Bodhi.

If he was there, the ending of the Battle of the Conferred Gods would be rewritten. How domineering is this?

"Could it be that your threat can surpass the sage of the Qing Dynasty?" Ji Ming asked doubtfully.

"In terms of supernatural powers, the poor are naturally not as good as the saints, but they can still do it if they restrain a saint and make them unable to participate in the deification of the gods." Breaking the Zhuxian Sword Formation will completely rewrite the defeat of Jiejiao."

"Then if the sage doesn't come out, even the heavenly leader can't make a move?" Ji Ming asked again.

"That poor Taoist will sweep away everything, and the Three Realms will only be revered by the teaching!" Bodhi said.

Ji Ming was taken aback, then sighed: "Oh, what a pity."

"However, although the Taiqing sage trapped the poor Taoist, he did not harm the poor Taoist. Instead, he taught his own Taoism. Therefore, the poor Taoist and him also had a relationship with him." Bodhi also said: "Later My teacher Duobao entered the Western religion and became the Tathagata, the patriarch of all Buddhas, and I also transformed into the Venerable Subhuti, and together created the Western Heaven Buddhism."

"This……"

It turned out that this Patriarch Subhuti was actually one of the top ten disciples of the Tathagata?

"I helped the Tathagata become a Buddha with the Bodhi Way, and then guided him to become a quasi-sage. After paying off the grace of teaching, I left the Buddhist gate and came to Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai, where I opened the Oblique Moon and Three Star Cave." The ancestor Bodhi laughed. He said: "I have recruited a large number of disciples here. Most of the schools of thought come from me. The magical powers of the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism also belong to me."

So far, Ji Ming has nothing to say.

The teacher of all schools of thought, what kind of perverted character is this?

"Then what is your cultivation level now?" Ji Ming asked curiously.

"The first Journey to the West was already holy, and now I have hundreds of millions of incarnations. If they become one, I will achieve the 'unspeakable' realm that even saints cannot understand." Bodhi said.In this regard, Ji Ming took out the longevity post, handed it over and said: "This is an invitation to transcend endless time and space, take it, and find your complete self!"

Bodhi didn't refuse, but he didn't ascend immediately either, but put away the longevity post.

But even if he didn't go up, there was an additional "Immortal Emperor" level resident in the time-space city, and it was vague that this level would go one step further.

"Fellow Taoist, how should Sun Wukong teach this time?" Patriarch Bodhi suddenly asked.

For this, Ji Ming is really not proficient, and he wondered: "Is there any difference after so many journeys to the West?"

"It's the same as usual. Pindao taught him 72 transformations and somersaulting clouds, and then mixed in Dayu's Dinghaishenzhen control method, and finally passed on the three monkey hairs and the innate primordial spirit treasure 'Tightening Curse' through the hands of Guanyin." Bodhi thought for a while and said: "But that kind of teaching is obviously a failure. Sun Wukong's ultimate achievement is only a quasi-sage, and he can't become the 'Equal to Heaven' we want at all."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "That's why I want to join hands with you to teach Monkey King together!"

　ps: That's right, the complete Patriarch Bodhi has a realm beyond that of a saint.But this does not mean that it has surpassed Sanqing. As for why, you will know when you read down, hehe.
